Today in the Concord Ave Belmont parking protected lane there was a traffic jam and I was stuck behind a slower cyclist. I was delayed for a while two block, about 60 whole seconds and it was WONDERFUL!!!#vulnerableroaduser

Expect #MATraffic delays on Memorial Drive. The driver/lone occupant was able to escape from the vehicle after being assisted by members of a nearby crew boat. @CambridgeMAFire, @ProEMSCambridge and @MassStatePolice are also on-scene.

Whelp, I know the city *just* painted the protected bike lane on Mt Auburn, but discouraging to see a bus barreling down the bike lane just now!@cambbikesafety

We are out of stock of Brooklyn bikes for the foreseeable future, unless you have put one on hold in the last month. If you have written to enquire, we will keep your enquiry, and contact you when we know more. Thanks!

Will Boston be left behind? DCR is already removing reclaimed lanes, Cambridge is just starting to implement them. Missed opportunity for a seismic mode shift/ reset. nytimes.com/2020/06/26/clima…
